Story

Thank you so much for visiting my page and reading my story. I've chosen to run my first ever full marathon for the Riding for Disabled Association.

RDA rely entirely on voluntary help & donations to enable them to deliver their services which improve the lives of thousands of disabled people across the UK. RDA provides them with education, therapy & enjoyment whether that be through freedom of movement, gaining confidence, building relationships, receiving life-enhancing physiotherapy or achieving individual goals.

After visiting one of the groups I saw and realised just how valuable these lessons & organised events are. I heard some amazing stories from volunteers including some where an individuals life has been turned around by the support and services offered by RDA (& their family). I also saw just how much the charity rely's on charitable donations and volunteer's time & effort - I was surprised to learn that at least 20-30 volunteers give up their time each week at just one group!

So a huge thank you in advance for your generous donation, every little donation really does make a huge difference!
